Superior Carriers and Carry Transit

[Phreddo]

Well Carlo, i got that job i was telling you about, now i guess i am a slacker again . but can i be a slacker with a local job, hauling gas and diesel ..

Same goes here. Gave up my cushy mail run for a local fuel hauler. The big trick is to not come home stinky, but it seems like that will only happen if i screw up. I prefer the "home every night" rather than the "out 1-6 days" I got at Transwood. Nothing wrong with that company, just not my bag, baby.

What about you, Carlo? I'm just a casual lurker here, but you seem to be one of the prime movers here. We're all curious when you decide to make a big move.

"I wont need any matches Rob i have a lighter . how else are you suppose to look down in the tanks? "

I saw one version of this vid (the shell station) on youtube, and the caption claimed the guy was up there using a cell phone. Yeah, sure.

Damn Jay, you lose your helmet and then get your sippy cup taken away and you gotta go on the warpath. Bee-otch!!! Don't worry, you can still lick the windows as much as ya want bro. BTW, that hat's the wrong color!

Jay....I think he wants a "puke green" one.....

Good luck with new gig!!

They do come in different colors, but i thought the red would match his new truck. when he goes back to cheap food-grade. after the cr engl, , deal doesn;t work out . LOL
and no carlo i didn't lose my helmet or sippy cup. i just can;t remember where i left them . and they have let the windows down on the bus so i am having a hard time licking them. keep getting my tongue stuck.
and just think i haul 9200 gallons gas.

Glad to hear ya got it Jay! Man, what is it with y'all and the whole C.R.E. deal? Sounds to me that y'all are really bucking for that company, so perhaps ol' Grandpa and Soundman11568 (see, proper spelling Jay lol) should precede me to fill me in on what I can expect there and all the big $$$ I cam make there! Hahahahahahahahahaha......



Naw, think the next truck is going to be blue, or red, or maybe even gray or white. Hmmmmm, that should make it a little harder for you to figure out where I'll be at!!! Jerky.....

[geargrinder]

Grinder..... What's up?!?!? Any updates for you? Let's not forget the other item; that they would rather deadhead a driver from halfway across the country back to their home terminal instead of paying a day of layover and/or waiting for a load.

Jay and Rob..... Man, y'all got it all wrong. I'll see those silly statements and raise you a cheap outfit where I can have that big chicken truck whoop whoop!

WDTC : Employment/Driving Opportunity

Look at that pay scale, second to none! Looks like a reefer version of Indian River!!!

Sticking with Superior for a while. I don't want to miss the training on how to fill out a log book and do a correct pre/post-trip.

I had a couple of them TMC inspections. The only question was about my silicone Party Doll. I told them that the USA and Canadian
customs were cool that it was NOT a passenger. That put their minds at ease. Oh yeah, and the Astro Slide is not a banned substance by either Canadian or USA DOT. Seems my filthy truck has affected my mind

Also want to see if my system flies with the new GPS log auditing. It's nothing spectacular. Just testing the envelope and keep my head from turning to total mush.

Jobs are out there. But the Little Filly (aka Super Model) is nagging me to stay put for a while. I guess she's killing time (in between photo shoots) enjoying the med/dental benefits.

In the meantime, I keep plugging away. The apex of my Superior career seems to have been achieved. I get 1800 - 2100 miles per week. I can run for months on end and not need a 34-hour. I am one efficient em effer!

I contributed to our safestat demise today. Got a "level 2 hazmat check" at the Ga weigh station on I 85 North of Atlanta. All they could find was a placard obscured by the placard holder on the side and one on the back that wasn't perfectly vertical. I fixed the side ones with my seal cutters right in front of Barney Fife but he still wrote it up. This was a dedicated trailer that gets top loaded and the placards stay on it permanately.

did you happen to drop that hot trailer at cognis in charlotte,nc? i picked up an empty today that had the same placards. i'm new to this posting replys so bear with me.thanks!

Nope its dedicated out of High Point. The run is from Dupont in Hopewell Va to Oxide in Houston Tx. Trailer is top loaded and never cleaned.

I have heard from some differant people that Ga. has said. To stop with the warning tickets and just go for the money. They have a budget shortfall and have instructed all Barney Fife's to wright as many money tickets as possiable and not issue any warnings. To help releave said shortfall. So if any of you have been around the loop in Atlanta latley you should have seen Barney and his buddies working it hard very hard and not just Cobb County. I went from I-75 to I-20 last week and counted 19 super troopers working there tails off and I didnt count Cobb county.
Driver told me he lives in area and for a week they have been telling everyone to be good on the loop as enforcement has been steped up and no warnings all tickets.
We all know who will be the ones helping fund there budget........

can we say pre-trip inspection should have caught that placard . hmm carlo where is grandpa . haven't heard from him in awhile

I am sure that's what management will say. I should have insisted that the customer scrape them off and replace them.

The truth is this is a dedicated trailer and the placards have been on it for years. They never come off as the tank is top loaded and never cleaned. Would you have scraped it off and demanded a new one for 1/8 inch off of vertical. This customer ships several loads a week and its 2500 miles round trip.

Honestly I was more concerned withtwo bald flat spots on the trailer tires that I had replaced before pulling it. They were bad and more than a couple of drivers pulled that trailer with those tires.

what ever happened to ky 24

[1catfish]

why cant superior get some nice trucks, if altom can do it why cant superior. im getting tired of driving a 03 model with five hundred thousand miles on it.

[Cyanide]

What ever happened to ky 24?

Why can't Superior get some nice trucks? If Altom can do it why can't Superior. I'm getting tired of driving an '03 model with five hundred thousand miles on it.

KY 24 was tending to personal matters last I spoke with him.

Altom, C.T.L., Coal City Cobb, Dana, Enterprise, Heniff, Highway Transport, Miller, and Schneider all have nicer trucks at least in the department of storage and room for the most part. But wait, Superior is getting all of those Prostars! How many times can you hear the excuse that having small-sleeper trucks are because of a weight issue???

Hmmm, all of the above mentioned companies have larger sleepers and also, with the exception of Miller, carry their hoses on the back of the trucks. Seems they have no issues hauling 45,000 lb. of product. I could see if we were contracted to carry 47,000 lb. consistently but Superior isn't. It's all about saving $$$, and I'm sure that with all of the new games being played, er, "rules" they'll save even more when the driver force starts shrinking due to getting tired of the b.s.

[1catfish]

i agree,the issue seems to be the cheap way out. if they ever start screwing with our idle times when sleeping or waiting for next load, i'll be at a local gas hauler the next day. i have never grossed any where close to max so far, like most trucking companies just a pay check.
